I have to say I enjoy this game. I work 50-60 hours a week, have three kids and only get to play games on my down time for a few hours every couple of nights. Yes I'm a casual and I can understand the hardcore gamers that is frustrated with this game as I was once some years back. Yes it's very easy to acquire everything in this game but I didnt play D1 for the loot, I played to have a bit of fun in my spare time and that's what I'm doing with D2. I'd like D2 to get better PvP but in the meantime I'll just play with what we have and not complain about it.

It's not "Bad". There are plenty of games that are made for you. There are tons of games you can just jump into and play for a little bit, feel like you accomplished something, and turn of for a week. Here's the problem. There aren't very many games out there for me, the hardcore player. Destiny 1, in all it's forms, was the best hardcore game I've ever played. It was our game. But Bungie decided that it wasn't our game. Now, you've got 10,000 great casual games you can play, and I've got about 3 hardcore games that are any good. A balance should have been reached. A compromise between hardcore and casual. Instead, Bungie went 100% casual. Destiny is just another game in the crowd now. There isn't a single special thing about it. It's just like every other casual game. I wonder if it can survive without the hardcore's word of mouth... Or the hardcore bad mouthing it... I doubt it.
